Question

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.60 m/s^2, What is the net external force (in N) on him? (Enter the magnitude.) _________ N

Answer 1

External force on him will be 112 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the mass of the sprinter m =70 kg

Acceleration of the sprinter
`a=1.6m/sec^2`

We have to find the net external force

According to second law of motion force = mass ×acceleration

Force is dependent on the mass and acceleration

So
`F=70* 1.6=112 N`

So external force will be 112 N
